Erythroid and nonerythroid spectrins.

چکیده
Recent developments have contributed important information to understanding the role of spectrins in the RBC membrane skeleton and nonerythroid cells. Many questions can now be framed, informed by structural knowledge of various spectrin subunit types and alternatively spliced variants, that previously could not have been addressed. Their solution in the coming years will likely lead to further advances with direct relevance to biology and medicine.

Ankyrin binds to the 15th repetitive unit of erythroid and nonerythroid beta-spectrin
Ankyrin mediates the attachment of spectrin to transmembrane integral proteins in both erythroid and nonerythroid cells by binding to the beta-subunit of spectrin. Previous studies using enzymatic digestion, 2-nitro-5-thiocyanobenzoic acid cleavage, and rotary shadowing techniques have placed the spectrin-ankyrin binding site in the COOH-terminal third of beta-spectrin, but the precise site is ...
متن کاملRemarkable homology among the internal repeats of erythroid and nonerythroid spectrin.
A cDNA clone for nonerythroid alpha-spectrin was identified by direct immunological screening of a chicken smooth muscle cDNA library. A library prepared in the expression plasmids pUC8 and pUC9 was screened with an antiserum specific for chicken alpha-spectrin. Blots of poly(A)+ RNA from various tissues of chicken and mouse show that the cDNA hybridizes to an 8-kilobase mRNA. The cDNA hybridiz...
متن کاملGeneration of diversity in nonerythroid spectrins. Multiple polypeptides are predicted by sequence analysis of cDNAs encompassing the coding region of human nonerythroid alpha-spectrin.
Nonerythroid alpha-spectrin (alpha-fodrin) is a major component of the membrane skeleton in diverse cell types. Overlapping cDNAs have been isolated which encompass the coding region of human lung fibroblast nonerythroid alpha-spectrin. The composite sequence of 7,787 nucleotides encodes a polypeptide of 2,472 amino acids (predicted Mr of 283,964). This sequence has 58% amino acid identity with...

Ankyrin mediates the attachment of spectrin to transmembrane integral proteins in both erythroid and nonerythroid cells by binding to the (3-subunit of spectrin . Previous studies using enzymatic digestion, 2-nitro-5-thiocyanobenzoic acid cleavage, and rotary shadowing techniques have placed the spectrin-ankyrin binding site in the COOH-terminal third of S-spectrin, but the precise site is not ...
متن کاملPresence of erythroid and nonerythroid spectrin transcripts in human lens and cerebellum.
Spectrin is a major protein of the red cell membrane, and is composed of alpha- and beta-subunits. While spectrin was initially thought to be specific for erythrocytes, similar, but nonidentical peptides have recently been identified in other tissues, including lens, suggesting the existence of a spectrin gene family. To study the nature of spectrin-like peptides in the lens, we examined the tr...
